Just In: EC orders rerun at one polling station in Dome Kwabenya constituency to determine winner

The race for the Dome Kwabenya constituency has taken an unexpected turn with the announcement of a rerun at the Abokobi Women’s Development Centre 2 polling station.

The Electoral Commission (EC) made this decision after the initial results were annulled due to a breach of electoral regulations.

The rerun is set to decide the winner between Mike Oquaye Junior of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and Faustina Elikplim Akurugu of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

During a live broadcast on TV3, the EC confirmed that the rerun would be confined to this specific polling station, which has 669 registered voters—an electorate that could significantly impact the outcome.

“The margin between the two candidates following the recount stands at just 165 votes,” the EC announced, making it clear that the stakes are high for both parties.

This contentious situation stems from discrepancies in the initial vote-counting process, leading to the annulment of results at Abokobi Women’s Development Centre 2.

The EC’s decision to conduct a rerun at this station aims to ensure transparency and adherence to electoral guidelines. “We want to make sure that every vote is counted fairly and according to the law,” an EC spokesperson stated, further emphasizing the importance of a clean and legitimate process.

With just a 165-vote margin separating Oquaye Junior and Akurugu, this rerun has become a crucial moment for both parties.
